So, What is Celiac Disease Anyway?
A chronic autoimmune disorder. When genetically susceptible individuals consume specific proteins in the grains wheat, rye, and barley, which are collectively known as “gluten”, the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged. This surface contains tiny finger-like projections called villi that become inflamed and flattened due to the immunologic reaction to gluten, causing malabsorption of nutrients needed for good health. (Chase, 2008, p 15)
What Happens?Gluten triggers an abnormal reaction in the intestine where the villi (protrusions in the intestine which create large surface space for nutrient absorption) flatten and reduces absorption space in the intestine. This causes malnutrition.
